Plans for a $100, 000 club house have already been drawn, and it will probably be completed in a - short time. HrcThe Democratic National Convention H&at in S?.

The Democrats met Tuesday in St. Louis, the Prohibitionists are to meet in Indianapolis, and the Republicans in Chicago. This will give us eight national-tickets this fall. When the recent Assembly of the Presbyterian church in Philadelphia was about to adjourn, some one caught the attention of the moderator and offered the following resolution: Eesolved, On the near approach of Decoration Day, the day set apart by our national government in memory of those who, during the war of the rebellion, gave their lives that the union and the country should not die, this General Assembly desires to put on record its grateful recognition of the inestimable services and devotion unto death of those heroic and patriotic soldiers and our nndying attachment to.the great princi? ples for which they fought and died, and with the great multitude of our fellow citizens, to extend our prayerful sympathy to those to whom the day brings still the memory of immeasurable bereavement. Immediately the Assembly was. in an uproar and a scene of stormy confusion followed. Many delegates protested that the resolution was out of place, and that it should not be adopted, and it was voted down by a rousing majority. A motion was made that a committee be appointed to draw a suitable resolution, which was done. The committee reported the original resolution, substituting "the civil war," instead of "the war of rebel? lion " and adding "throughout our whole country" after the words "extend our sympathy to those." . The resolution was then adopted by a rising vote and with the greatest enthusiasm, men waving their hats and ladies shaking their hand? kerchiefs, while the large hall re-echoed with shouts of applause. This was a graceful and touching tribute from the northern Preaby teraino to the fact that the war is indeed over, and that we are now brothers in every sense of the word. STRAIGHT AND MARLY TALK. . A Friend of the South Carolina College sales Justice for the Fanners. It is stated that an effort is being made by the Calhonns of New York and At? lanta to break the will made by the late Mr. T. G. Clemson, by' which he bequeathed the old Calhoun property and a handsome fortune for the establishment of an Agricultural College in this State. We have always heretofore been opposed to the establishment by the State of a separate college of this kind, mainly on the ground of the great cost to the State. Now, it seems just and proper that the ?advocates of such an -institution should be allowed to at least try the experiment. It, is unfortunate that just when some means are at hand by which most of the expenses can be met and defrayed that Buch a hindrance should be thrown in the way. But so far as we have been able to learn from reliable sources this is mere rumor, and we hope that it may prove to be without foundation. Since the greatest objection to the establishment of the school has been re? moved, at least in great measure, we cannot see a ^legitimate reason why the State, if it be possible under the constitu? tion and laws of the State, cannot meet the will of the projector half way and supplement the donated fnnd with appro? priations from her own treasury. With? out detracting in the slightest from the claims and merits of the agricultural department of the South Carolina College, it is not, we submit, asking too much of the State to add to this already establish? ed fund the appropriation which annually goes to the South Carolina Obliege for its agricultural department In other words, it would seem but proper that the State should take the agricultural department from the South Carolina College and place the appropriation devoted thereto, and the accumulated implements, in the hands and under the management of the trustees, of this purely agricultural institution. The question whether the State can enter into such a compact with executors, acting under authority of an individual's will, as Mr. Clemson's will requires, un? doubtedly will be made in the Legislature; and while we do not think it proper that the State should ever form such a partnership with individuals or a private corporation as will deprive the State of the power to control, it is most probable that some arrangement can be made by which the State can legally and rightfully assume an interest in the Farmers' College. As we say, the people have the right to ask this concession, if control be given to the State, and there will be few who will attempt to deny it. There were never yet two parties who were willing to come together, either for the sake of peace or mutual justice, that could not by some means agree upon terms. The department in the Soujth Carolina College is well enough as it is, so far as the means granted can carry it, but the combining of the two funds in one will undoubtedly make a better institution. When the question of State control is settled there remains but the single ques? tion?which of the two institutions shall give way? The only answer is that the South Carolina College must give up its agricultural feature. The Clemson bequest cannot go to the South Carolina College, but the appropri? ation for the agricultural feature in the South Carolina College can go to the Clemson Colleger therefore it would seem best that the South Carolina College should surrender all claims for an sgri cultural department and that it should be given to the Clemson College. Both institutions would then be the stronger for, it and each may then thrive and prosper in its destined course without antagonizing the friends 'of the other.?

Boston, May 31.?The best known Blaine man in Massachusetts received a letter from Mr. Blaine to-day, in which the man from Maine states that he will return to America by the end of June, and will at once plunge into politics, taking the stump for the _Republican nominee and doing all he can to advance the interests of his party. "I have de clined to be a candidate," said Mr. Blaine, "but I am still a protectionist, a Republi? can and an American citizen, and shall do all in my power to help my parly." ? Although there have been signB of late years that divorce was becoming less common in some parts of New England, the change for the better has not yet affected New Hampshire. On the con? trary, the report of the registrar of vital statistics for the year 1886, just publish ed, shows a remarkable and alarming increase of the tendency since 1870. Io that year and in 1871 the number of divorces decreed was only 149; in 1886 it was385, and since 1880 it has only once fallen as low 273. The aveiage number for the sevpn years beginning with 1870 was 212, while for the seven years beginning with 1880 it was 318, an increase of 50 per .cent, although the population of the State was less than 10 per cent larger in the second period than in the first. During }886 there were ten divorces to every eighty-three marriages? a proportion aeldom reached in any State, and far too large to be viowe.4 withont apprehension. ? There are in England 347 female blacksmiths who actually swing heavy hammers, and 9138 women employed in nail making. .? Jesse gutb-j of Newton, Lancaster County, was a great sufferer from corns. On Saturday he had the small toe on each foot amputated as a remedy. He threatened to cut them ,off with a chissl unless the family would consent to have surgeons perform the operation, CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Cincinnati, June 1.?Burt Wherth wine, of- McMillan avenue, suicided to* night with a revolver, because his girl went on a picnic with another fellow. Lancasteb, June 4.?The Jailer, Mr. J. B. Hunter, committed suicide this morning abont 4 o'clock, by shooting himself through the head with a 44 calf bre Smith & Wesson pistol. Mr. Hunter for a long time was Sheriff of the county, and is the father of the present Sheriff. The fact that he had taken his own life spread like wildfire on our streets and was received with saddest regrets. Mr. Hunter has been almost an invalid for for the past two years, and it is thought that he took his life for the purpose of ending his sufferings. Montgomery, Ala., May 30.?On to-day, Mr. James Caldwell, a well know florist of this city, coughed up a pin from his right lung. He has suffered about twenty years, and has been treated for lung trouble. He has now a distinct recollection of swallowing the pin forty seven years ago in Glasgow, Scotland, when seven years of age. He remembers the anxiety of his family at the time, and that his sister was dressing in front of the mirror. The pin is an inch long, bright, of old style, and different metal from the kind now in use. He is over? joyed at the strange discovery and relief. Tboy, N. Y., June 2?Mrs. Johanna Moore, who resides on Adams street, went to the State Bank this morning and drew out $100. She went directly home and had been there but a few minutes when a well dressed young man called and said he had been sent there from the bank to get the money that had been paid Mrs. Moore. "The money is counter? feit," he said, "and they sent me to get it, and I will bring you back good money for it; the teller did not discover it until after you had left." Mrs. Moore unsus? pectingly handed the swindler the money and he departed. She awaited his return for more than an hour, but as he did not come back she began to think that all was not right and went to the bank, where she at once learned that she had been swindled. Chester, May 29.?William Lackey, a white man about 30 years of age, work? ing on the farm of Thomas McGuire, seven miles from here, on the Union road, was killed by lighting yesterday after? noon while ploughing in the field about 200 yards from his house. He told his wife and children, whotrere hoeing close by, to go to the house before the cloud came up. After the rain, he still not having come op, his wife went to look for him and found him lying dead at nearly the same spot where she bad left him a little while before. He was struck on the top of the head, the stroke run? ning down his right side, badly burning his body. His mule was also killed, and lay still hitched to the plow. Mr. Lack? ey leaves a wife and four children. Atlanta, Ga., June 1.?A celebrated English philanthropist was buried here yesterday, having died yesterday at the residence of his daughter, Mrs Booth. John Glazebrook was his name, and be was a citizen of Manchester England. He was a man of great wealth, and becoming interested in the abolition of slavery in the United States, spent thousands of pounds in aiding the agita? tion. He paid the expenses of lecturers, had runaway slaves exhibited before English audiences, and placed his fortnne in the scales to accomplish the abolition of hnman servitude. A few mouths ago he decided to visit this country for the purpose of seeing whether the negro bad improved. He died with the declaration that he bad wasted his money, and that freedom bad brought no benefit to the negro. Minneapolis, Minn., June 1.?The body of Miss Adele Menard, daughter of Joseph Menard, a prominent citizen, was fonnd floating in the river late yes? terday afternoon. Miss Menard passed Monday evening in compauy with a young man to whom ehe was betrothed. Before retiring that night Mr. Menard whipped her for some reason not dis? closed, and the next morning she was missing. She left two notes?one to her father and the other to her lover. To the former she wrote that she was going to commit suicide by drowning, and that she bad been driven to the deed by bis cruelty. The note addressed to her lover advised him to commit suicide also. He has not been seen since her note was delivered to him, aod it is believed he has killed himself. Pabkersburg, W. Va., May 27.?In? formation has reached here of the horrible tortue of a boy named Jesse C. Henderson on Thursday by a lunatic. Henderson was working in a field near Long Beach, some distance from bis home, when a fierce-looking man came up, caught the boy, and bound hi m to a tree. With a needle the man pierced the boy's flesh repeatedly, and whenever he made an outcry he would strike him in the face.. The madman then took a large knife and scored the boy's hands in several places and threatened to cut bis throat. To still further torture him he threw his knife at him with remarkable aim, pin? ning the boy's clothes to the tree. Several tiroes he just grazed the flesh sufficiently to draw the blood. The boy was thus tortured for an hour, when some men appeared and the lunatic ran away. He was captured on Friday. His name is Isaiah Hoy t and he claims Columbus, 0., for his home. The boy's body is badly cut and scarred. . Chicago, June 1.?A tremendous sensation occurred in Judge Jameson's -Court shortly after 10 o'clock this mom ing. While the docket was being called Mrs. Meckje ftawson was impatiently waiting for the divorce case of her hus? band, Banker Bawson, to be called. Col. H. C. Whitney, her husband's attorney, was sitting at a side table writing, when the Court was suddenly startled to hear a pistol, and Col. Whitney at once dis? appeared under the table. The shot was followed by four more in rapid succes? sion, and Mrs Bawson was seen pursuiug Whitney with a Smith & Wesson, 32 calibre, revolver.. Mrs. Bawson succeed? ed in emptying her revolver at Whitney before she could be captused. Two of the balls hit the lawyer, one taking effect below the groin aod the other in toe left leg. The wound near the right groin will probably be fatal. Judge Jameson at once ordered Mrs. BawBon's arrest, and she was immediately taken to jail. It is understood Mrs. Bawson claims that Lawyer Whi*ney trumped up all the tes? timony which went to show that she had been guilty of infidelity to her husband. Masion. June 1.?Lightning struck the house of Mr. B. H. Bigham, near Florence, on the Northeastern Bail road, 09 Wednesday night. The East end of the building was torn out completely, hardly two planks remaining together, and the Southwest corner was badly damaged. Mr. and Mrs. Bigbam were sitting together on a sofa against the wall of the East end, and both of them were severely injured. He was struck on the head, and the electricity running down his right side, burned his arm and leg severely. The right shoe was torn com? pletely from his foot. Falling timbers also struck him on the bead, and be was in this way seriously hurt, and until late next morning was unconscious. Mrs. Bigbam was thrown across the room to the front of the fireplace, and besides being strongly shocked, was completely buried under fallen timbers and bricks from the chimney. Her little ten-year old sister, who was in the room with them, and Bitting at e distance of only about six feet from the sofa, was unhurt, and c*pe to her assistance and freed her from the load bearing her down, and called in the help of the neighbors. But for the presence of miud of this little visitor both of them might have died as they were struck. Milton, 'S. C7 June 4.?One of the most terrific cyclones that has ever y isi ted the South passed near this piaco at 4 o'clock Saturday, the 2d instant. The length of the tract was about twenty-five miles, and the width .500 yards. The destruction and devastation was immense. Whole plantations of recently planted corn and tobacco were wiped out, and buckets full of hail Btones as large as guinea eggs could be easily gathered, and the weather has since been so cold that hail is still sgpn on the ground and the people are sitting by fires. The woods are strewed with green leaves like the fall of dried leaves in autumn. The fine plantation of John Cunningham, situated about eight miles East of here in Person County, containing 15,000 acres of fine bright tobacco land recently planted, was terribly damaged. His buildings, which were equal to a small village, were destroyed and twenty-five very large forest trees in his yard were blown to the gronnd, some of them falling on his large frame dwelling and completely demolish* ing it. Cunningham is very wealthy and can easily stand the Iosb. He is the largest tobacco raiser in this the bright tobacco belt of Virginia and North Carolina. The prospects of the smaller farmers are completely ruined for this year._ A Family's Fenrfnl Affliction, One of our ministers remarked to your < correspondent yesterday that be bad that] day witnessed the saddest sight of his life. He had just returned from the funeral ot three sisters, daughters of Mr. H. W. Brown of the Gapway neighborhood. Mr. Brown had only six children?three girls and three boys. The death of the girls occurring at the same time, the three were buried in the same grave. At the house one of the little boys was dying as the funeral procession of his sisters moved off, and the two remaining boys had only a possibility of a recovery.? Marion Letter to Columbia Register. The Weather and the Crops. The following report of the weather and the crops for the week ending June 2,1888, has been issued by the South Carolina Weather Service: The rainfall has been above the aver? age. Temperature has been about the average. The atnouut of sunshine has been but little. The weather has been injurious to the frowing crops. Heavy rains have fallen, his has also interfered with the harves? ting of small grain. In the northern counties corn and vegetables are doing well, bnt cotton is in bad condition owning to heavy rains. In the middle counties the rains have delayed the harvesting of oats and wheat. Otherwise the condition is better than last week, but crops are grassy. What is now needed is sunshine. One southern county reports a heavy hail and wind storm, in which considera? ble damage was done. A "Widow" in a Bad Box. The pension board has discovered a fraud which will probably cause the implicated parties some trouble. For the time being the name of the persons and the county will be kept a secret. The form of the pension application requires the applicant, if a widow, to swear when and how her husband died, and to swear that she has not married again. The verity of this statement has to be sworn to by two witnesses. It has been discovered by the board that one of the many applications from widows which were received properly made out and approved is fraudulent, as the supposed widow has married a seoond time, although she signed her name as the widow of her soldier husband. This places the "widow" and the two men who swore to the correctness of her statement in an awkward position ; particularly so, as the board proposes to make an example of them end prosecute the case. It will probably be discovered that there are numbers of such cases. The Blue and the Grey. Many persons in South Carolina will remember the Bev. Dr. Bryson who was several years pastor of tbe Presbyterian Ohnrch at Columbia. Dr. Bryson was during the war chaplain in chief of the Confederate army of Tennessee. He was in Philadelphia during the recent Centennial Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. The Philadelphia Times last week says: "At the Tabernacle Presby? terian Church, 37th and Chesnut, the Rev. J. H. Bryson, of Alabama, ex moderator of tbe Southern General Assembly, preached an eloquent sermon to a crowded congregation. In alluding to his presence there that morning, Dr. Bryson said that but a few minutes before the commencement of the service he had teamed that tbe pastor, the Bev. Dr. McCook, had been a chaplain to the Union forces during the late war, while he had been chaplain to the Confederate forces. "He alluded to several incidents of that bloody feud, and then turning to the pastor, in a voice trembling with emotion offered the band of peace and friendship, and in tbe presence of the congregation, who rose io a body, tbe two clergymen nhook hands and blessed each other. It was an impresnive inci? dent and many of the congregation were visibly affected by it." Jofde is a Freak. Chicago, III , June 2.?Henry M. Stanley and tbe Wandering Jew have a new rival in little Josie Friend, the ten year-old son of Mr. Joseph Friend, resi? dent of this city. Josie has a great propensity for traveling, and ever since seven years of age be has taken trips in every direction, and to all parts of the Union. He is a freak in that his wandering inclinations are not the result of trashy literature, but rather natural. When seven years old, Josie and an older boy started for Keokuk, Iowa. The larger boy was thrown off tbe train, and had to steal a ride home; but the young? er fellow .continued tbe trip, and reached Keokuk. The statjon agent sent him borne. Three months later, he took another trip to Crown Point, Ind., and was again shipped- back. Nothing daunted, he started the next season and went to New York by way of Buffalo, staying away three weeks and taking minute notes on scenery and incidents along the road. He was shipped home by the New York police, but escaped at Kalamazoo, Mich., and, on being taken in hand again, got away once more at Michigan City. Here his father got bim. The 17th of last month he was sent home from school for sliding down the banisters, but instead of going home he started for California, getting as far as Glendive, Mont. The sheriff there sent him home but he got off at Braioerd,Minn., where he was heard from yesterday. His father expects him home in three or four weeks, but thinks he will leave again for California. The only fear his parents now have is that some accident will befall him._ ? Very few people have any idea of tbe vast acres of Government land held by alien landholders in the United State7. Tbe largest tract, 4,500,000 acres, is held by the Holland Company, of New Mexi? co. An English syndicate holds 3,000, 000 acres in Texas, Sir Edward Reid and a Fyndicate in Florida own 2,000,000 acres; 1,800,000 acres belong to an Eng Hub syndicate in Mississippi, 1,700,000 to the Marquis of Tweedale, 1,300,000 to the Phillips-Marshall Company, of London, and 1,600,000 acres to a German syndicate. These comprise the larger landholders. There are, however, a score or more of personR and syndicates owniDg less than 750,000 acres. The grand total foots up to 20,747,000 acres of Goverment land held by aliens in the United States. ? Dr. Tanner, tbe faster, lives in New Mexico, where he has a 1,500-acre ranch. He is connected with a foundling association, which is intended to show that tbe baser passions are aroused princi? pally by the use of animal food. He is now in Indiana trying to collect forty infants to experiment with. He thinks that be can make them all good and long-lived by feeding them one meal a a day of a light vegetarian diet. The Doctor himself lives on one meal a day, breakfast. ? For twenty-three years in succession Icaac Richmond, a North Carolina color? ed man, has won the prize in his neigh? borhood as the most sskilful eurer of the tobacco leaf. He has just disposed of his last year's crop at 38 cento a pound, which is at the rate of $200 per acrp. This successful colored planter owns an excellent plantation, but still remains with the gentleman who formerly ownsd. bim. Two Hundred and Seventy-fire Pairs CUFF BTJTTONI, 15c.
